Need help building 6000$ computer

2x 2x1gb crucial ballistix
4x 400gb wd caviar raid 0+1
creative x fi
7800gtx sli
dfi or asus socket 939
amd x2 +4800
not sure about drives (i just use one myself :p)
coolmaster stacker or p180 (or many others, case is really personal pref)

watercooling your dads company computer probably isnt the best idea 8D
 
You could afford a dual cpu setup with that cash.

Oh and... What does your dad do for a living?
 
with 6000$ USD you can do ALOT of things.

I would go with a dual CPU solution with a dual core opteron or a dual core 4800+ wich will be a QUAD core.

TYAN motherboard offers dual cpu support and some of them can support up to 6gb of ram, so, go for 6gb of ram, something like PC5500, omg.....

CASE: i would go for the new silverstone high end case for like 365$.
Of course dual 7800GTX 512 in SLI, with a P&C psu 1KW, and for the hard disk..... some SCSI Cheetah 15k . And 2 nice 21in ultra fast LCDS.

at 6k you can really offer you anything you want.
 
your budget makes me angry :cool:
15,000RPM SCSI Drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822111151 [Note: You can find probably a cheaper price on the HD. That was just an example. You don't need a Scsi card probably if you get a Tyan mobo like in the link below)
Couple of Caviars
2x7800GTX SLI 512
2xOpteron 875(i forget if tehy are they 875) on a Tyan mobo. (That is 4 cores total like in the Maximum PC Dream machine)

High End ECC RAM - 4GB should be enough..
And of course:
Phase Change for CPU
Water Cooling for Chipset + Videocards

Maybe your budget isn't large enough for the Dream Machine
 
you just bursted my bubble, im sure i can add a little dough after all its gonna be my computer ina month or sumthing lol
 
into, didnt i buy or sell something to u?, also can someone make like a newegg wishlist or sumthing, and thanks for the help so far

i was pretty much kidding. It is possible to exceed $6000, but you can easily build a Dream Machine within that budget. Plus you don't need a monitor anyway right? So all that money is for pure parts..?
You aren't going to find Phase change or good watercooling setups at Newegg.
Look at frozencpu.com for starters.
 
Tyan Thunder K8WE
2 x Hitachi 74GB 15,000RPM SAS drives in RAID 0
3 x Hitachi 7K500 500GB SATA drives in RAID 5

Dual eVGA "Black Pearl" water cooled 7800GTX 512 vid cards, whenever they're availible they'll run a 600MHz core. Tom's Hardware benched one.

For a CPU I'd get two of the baddest 200 series Opterons out there, then about 8GB of memory.

Hell, I don't know. I'm trying to build one for about $2,500.

For that kind of change I'd definitely get dual CPUs and Serial Attached SCSI.

Adaptec makes PCI-X(and PCI-E, but you'll be using those) controller cards that can do both Serieal SCSI and Serial ATA(I believe). I'd get one.
 
...And for your case. Don't buy something cheap. If you stick with a single CPU I'd get a Lian-Li PCV-1100B Plus. It's reverse ATX with three chambers so it stays cooler and it's supposed to be very quiet. It is the case I'll be using for my next build. If you go dual proc I'd get the next model up from Lian-Li, the PCV-2100. It's a full tower with the same features mentioned above. Make sure NOT to skimp on the power supply. For a single CPU system I'd get a 600W supply from Seasonic, if you go dual CPU I'd get an 850W unit from PC Power&Cooling.
 
Man build a nice rig for like 3 grand, then buy 3 more grand worth of parts that you know people will want then sell the stuff and pocket the money :cool:
 
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE MY DADS BOSSSSS, hes just gonnna give him a freakin g5, i hate macs so now im stuck with my computer
 
I would build the two machines I'm building now... but do SLI and dual monitors... and buy a new TV too :D
 
Hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on. What do we need? Just the box? KVM? Speakers?

I'm going to suggest getting a decent system and save the rest of the money for upgrades. You know, something modest like A8N32-SLI, X2 4800+, 2GB Ballistix, 1x7800GTX 512, etc. Then spend the rest of your money on gradual upgrades.

And don't bother with dual Opterons, just get a 4800+ or wait for the FX-60.
